	An Explanation of Nikko Shonin's 26 Admonitions
		The five senior priests criticized the correct teachings of Nikko Shonin; they claimed that he was "establishing a different teaching and had lost the Way." The priesthood [of the Nikken sect], while deeply immersed in its own slander of the Law, vilifies the correct practice of the SGI.
		Nikko Shonin's inclusion of this article among the twenty-six admonitions clearly demonstrates that he did not think that the high priest was infallible.
		Based on the premise that a priest who has relations with a woman should by rights be defrocked and made to return to secular life, Nikko Shonin here stipulates that, in the event that a high priest temporarily deviates from the principle of sexual abstinence, his rank should be reduced to that of common priest.

		The Treasure of the Priest is Nikko in the specific sense, and in the general sense it is all of us, both priests and lay people, who, with the utmost sincerity, are spreading the teachings of Nichiren Daishonin to others.

		The five senior priests may have been emotionally unable to forgive Hakiri for his transgression, but if it was not an act of slander, then it was a matter of course that they, as disciples, should have attended the memorial service to mark the third anniversary of the Daishonin, their master.

		With regard to the remainder of the successive high priests, Nichikan revered them to the extent that they lived up to the spirit of the role of the Treasure of the Priest to protect and spread the Daishonin's Buddhism as Nikko Shonin did.
		In general, the treasure of the Priest is understood in Buddhism and even in Japanese society in general to mean "all those who uphold and propagate the Buddha's teachings." This is the definition that appears in standard Japanese dictionaries.
		In this sense, the SGI accords with this general definition of "Treasure of the Priest," while Nikko Shonin is the specific "Treasure of the Priest" — whose exemplary faith and practice as a disciple of the Daishonin we should all emulate.
